By: Sarah Minor Greek culture is very interesting. They were deeply religious human beings. They worshiped many, many gods and believed that they yet were endowed with superhuman strength. They were also believed to have ageless beauty. One god that was especially important was Zeus. He was the god of all gods.

Greek religion reflected many concepts and ideas. Greeks believed that gods would protect their city-states from harm, and danger. Greeks believed that pleasing the gods was the only was to live a long, healthy life. Also that pleasing the gods was a way to stay out of harm`s way.

Some ways to express their culture was through art. They made beautiful pottery, portraits, and statues. Their pottery was made especially for placing in tombs. A tomb was a burial place for a human being`s resting. Depending on who the person was, their tomb was filled with their personal belongings, jewels, gems, jewelry, clothes, and just things that belong to them.
